Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (26)

From now on, Chen Lifeng’s new agent would be Li Ou and Chu Xiang’s artist would be the newcomer, Fang Zhenxuan. The statement also declared that the company was not going to favor anyone since both their artists and agents were on the right path. Instead, they focused on promoting positive energy and giving back to the society with goodwill. For netizens who spread rumors and slander company personnel, the company would not hesitate to take legal measures to protect the rights and interests of the committee.

Chen Lifeng’s fans have become a jumbled mess at the moment. After seeing Chu Xiang’s public welfare data, the larger fans immediately called on Chen Lifeng’s page to stop attacking Chu Xiang. Of course, they claimed that it was to focus on themselves and not give Chu Xiang the chance to stand in the spotlight. The best course of action to take was to ignore people like Chu Xiang.

A small number of fans saw that Chu Xiang’s donations had reached as much as 30 million Yuan, so they immediately silenced themselves, feeling that it would be strange if they continued to criticize her.

There were also some extreme fans who believed that these donations were fake and checked everywhere. After finding out that it was true, they felt that the money Chu Xiang donated must merely be a small part of her savings. As an agent, her expenses were not low for sure, but to still have savings even after donating this much money, they were even more convinced that she had latched on to Chen Lifeng and sucked the financial gain out of him. They weren’t going to stop!

Hence, they continued to criticize her. However, because the number of people doing so had decreased, the popularity of the issue had gradually dropped. Yet at this time, the most extreme fans continue to rant as if they have lost their minds, not knowing that they were entirely perceived as disgusting to the entire online community, let alone being aware about the fact that they were only further tarnishing Chen Lifeng’s name.

Either way, the enthusiasm finally subsided and the focus shifted towards Chu Xiang’s devotion towards public welfare. After that, no one badmouthed Manager Lian and the company anymore.

As for the ruining of Chen Lifeng’s popularity with passers-by, the negative impact was even smaller now that the issue was resolved and no longer stirring. There were no other losses, which was already considered the best result. After addressing the situation publicly, there was nothing else that needed to be settled, but if Chen Lifeng’s fans insisted on making a fuss persistently, who was to blame? Chen Lifeng hadn’t stepped forward to appease the fans yet, so who could he blame if he had a loss in popularity?

The coworkers in the company didn’t say anything on the surface, but they all felt that Chen Lifeng deserved it. But it didn’t prove to be much of an issue, to be fair. As long as Chen Lifeng’s resources and performances were good enough, the impact of this incident would not be great. After a company meeting, it was decided that this matter was over, so everyone decided it was time to pack up and get off from work.

There were now fewer people who criticized Chu Xiang because in retrospects, more and more netizens were praising her. Many passers-by were amazed that someone had done so many good deeds silently. If it weren’t for being targeted by the entire network community, no one might have ever found out about her good actions. None of Chu Xiang’s black materials had any real evidence to back the claims as they were all specious, but these public charities were all real and based on actual evidence, which made Chu Xiang’s favorability among the passers-by soar.

For a behind-the-scenes worker, Chu Xiang would gradually be forgotten by the public if she were to disdain herself from any public appearances for the time being. But at this moment, these people who have a good impression of her have become her protective walls, firmly shielding her inside to not let her be harmed by the outside world.

After seeing this development, powerful public relations experts in the circle privately thought to themselves that the PR team handled this well and successfully pulled Chu Xiang out of the quagmire. Other people who were not as good in that department couldn’t understand Chu Xiang’s operations at all. They just felt that it was fortunate of Chu Xiang to have done so much charitable work and praised her ability to defend herself without unnecessary confrontation. Thankfully, she managed to keep her reputation safe from defamation.

Since the outcome turned out to be far from what Chen Lifeng and the others had expected, the three of them were in a bad mood. Li Ou complained, “Why didn’t you mention that she has done so much charitable work?”

Chen Lifeng felt even more uncomfortable, “I didn’t even know about it at all.”

Zhou Yuan, instead, felt more relieved when she heard those words. She felt since Chen Lifeng didn’t even know about that sort of thing, it meant that he and Chu Xiang really weren’t very close. She persuaded him, “Forget it, it’s not harmful to us anyway. At least the situation is now resolved and we got some good resources, so we’re the ones who obtained any sort of advantage from this.”

Chen Lifeng frowned and said, “The company seems to be a little dissatisfied with me.”

Zhou Yuan laughed as soon as she heard it, “What’s the point? You have less than a year left in your contract anyways. When the time comes, you can come to my studio and buy some shares. Wouldn’t it be better than being in Xingchen?”

Chen Lifeng relaxed his brows and smiled when he thought of the help Zhou Yuan could provide him. The three clinked glasses to celebrate their victory and then planned to rest. After a whole day of scheming and handling all sorts of matters here and there, they were all exhausted.
